Episiotomy isn’t just a little snip. It’s a cut with surgical scissors to your perineum during childbirth to enlarge the opening. And it's often overdone. In fact, the research is clear: routine episiotomies can increase your risk of severe 3rd and 4th degree tearing. ⁠ They should only be used in rare cases (like forceps or vacuum deliveries) and not be part of standard routine practice. One of the best @wegotherepodcast interviews I ever did was with Dr Michael Klein, a trailblazing physician

So did you have an episiotomy? How did it heal. These used to be done much more commonly but now they are supposed to only be done when absolutely necessary during childbirth. And we know for sure - during your labor and while you’re pushing your baby out if an episiotomy is needed for birth it needs your full informed consent! **for informational purposes only** #episiotomy #givingbirth #birthtips #childbirtheducation #traumaticbirth #perinealtear #laboranddelivery #laboranddeliverynurse | Mama

Share with mom-to-be so that they dont make this mistake ❌ Episiotomy stitches need care—not restrictions and myths. Here are some important tips every new mom should know: t1.t🪑 Position matters: Avoid sitting cross-legged or on hard surfaces. Use a donut cushion or lie on your side while feeding/resting to reduce pressure on stitches. t2.t🥗 Diet matters: Don’t starve new mothers.

🤔 If I'm going to tear anyway...shouldn't I just let my provider cut an episiotomy? NO! But Let's talk about it: 👉Imagine your perineal skin as a sturdy piece of fabric. It can take quite a pull without tearing, right? But make a small cut, and you'll see how easily it unravels! Same deal with episiotomies – if not done right and with perineal support, they can lead to a much more severe tear. When we tear naturally, it's like a jagged line that tends to heal well. But with an episiotomy, it's
